Owl, I have several Coleman (exponent) products (stove, backpack, and hiking poles) and IMHO they do quite well in the backpack department. They really should focus more on the demographic.......but...

Another option would be for you to head up to the colemen outlet store off I85 near commerce ga, and see if they have the Kraz 1 in stock. Very lightweight and solid tent. around $100.
Gabriel, go to campmor.com click on hotdeals and check out the 1 man tents. They have a spitfire (under100) as well as a Sierra Designs lightyear at 109. Both good tents. Good luck!
